openRCDG

An Arduino based rc drift gyro.

Building

The easiest way to build and upload this project is to use the platformio vscode extension.

If you are building for a board other than the arduino micro, you will need to change/add the board in the platformio.ini file.

Configuration

Configuration variables can be found in the config.h file.

Hardware

I only tested this on an Arduino micro and nano, but it should work on most other boards as well.

Example schematic for an Arduino pro micro with GY-521 imu:

PCB

Files for the pcb and case can be found in the pcb/case folders. The board works, but component placement/routing isn't optimal. The pcb uses components from a 3.3V arduino pro micro and mpu6050 board. 3D printing the case works fine.
